3.4. System boundaries
Hexagon Mining Personal Alert system is responsible for the detection of personnel wearing a properly
functioning Pedestrian Tag representing a threat and provides the correct visual signs to the vehicle
operator via the CAS User Interface and the personnel wearing the Pedestrian Tag based on the
preconfigured danger areas on the configuration.
The Personal Alert system requires line of sight between the Vehicle Anchor and the Pedestrian Tags
to perform according specifications, if the Pedestrian Tag is in a part of the body that blocks the Time-
of-Flight signal from the vehicle Anchor it might not be detected if there are no reflecting areas on the
surrounding of the personnel. Hexagon Mining recommends locations that allow the Pedestrian Tag to
be seen from 360 degrees from the Vehicle Anchors like the shoulders, helmets or belts (On the side).
